Useful hurdler is only 1-12 over fences but was runner-up in a Tipperary Grade 3 novice last month and ran well in a Gowran handicap since; likely to find a few too strong today.

As good as ever when winning this race on good ground last year but has not come close to matching that form since; had to work hard to convert good opportunity in Ballinrobe conditions chase (2m1f, soft) in August and will need to up his game to have any chance under top weight today.
